Wedding Ceremonies in Bali

Dream Weddings In Bali will work with you to provide a legal or non-legal ceremony to exactly match your requirements.

As well as assisting with writing the text, we have a large selection of popular poems and verses that you can select from to make your ceremony very much personal to you, to allow you to say what you want to say to each other.

Our range of ceremonies are as follows:

Legal Wedding Ceremony - Protestant

Previously, it used to be the case that a Legal Protestant Ceremony in Bali would consist of two separate parts, with the first part performed by a Minister, Priest or other religious representative of the Protestant Church and the second part performed by an Indonesian Government Registry Official. However, we perform so many weddings in Bali that a Civil Registrar will now no longer attend, unless specifically requested to do so. In this instance, the bride and groom would be signing the Civil Certificate at the same time as the Religious Certificate. The Civil Certificate of Marriage is the legalizing document.

With the exception of a single prayer, you can make the religious ceremony personal to you by providing your own vows, poems and readings.

Various inclusions are provided with this package!

Legal Wedding Ceremony - Catholic

A Catholic/Legal Wedding Ceremony in Bali is generally similar to a Protestant Ceremony.

However, it is important to note that a Catholic Ceremony can only take place inside a Catholic Church (not in the grounds of the Church) and additional fees will apply to upgrade the simple decorations that are included in the fees imposed by the Church, and for using air-conditioning in some of the Catholic Churches where this is offered, such as in Tuban and Nusa Dua..

Various inclusions are provided with this package!

Religious Only Ceremony - Protestant

For couples wishing to celebrate their marriage but without any legal implications, or for those who wish to celebrate a Renewal of Vows after some years of marriage, the Religious Only Ceremony could be ideal.

In a simple yet beautiful ceremony performed by a Protestant Church Minister, you may use existing ceremony texts, write your own ceremony or do a combination of both to make this ceremony truly your own.

Various inclusions are provided with this package!

Religious Only Ceremony - Catholic

As above but the ceremony would be performed by a Catholic Priest.

You may write your own vows and ring statements, can change certain readings from the Church's standard text and invite friends or family members to do those readings as well as any additional readings, songs etc. you may like to include as part of a very personalised ceremony.

The ceremony can only take place inside a Catholic Church and additional fees will apply to upgrade the simple decorations that are included in the fees imposed by the Church, and for using air-conditioning in some of the Catholic Churches where this is offered, such as in Tuban.

Various inclusions are provided with this package!

Commitment Ceremony - Full

For couples wanting to celebrate their love and life-long commitment to each other without any legal implications or, for those who wish to celebrate a renewal of vows after some years of marriage, the Commitment Ceremony could be for you.

This simple but beautiful ceremony may be performed by either a Western woman or a Balinese man and you are free to use existing ceremony texts, write your own or do a combination of both to make this ceremony absolutely your own.

Various inclusions are provided with this package!

Commitment Ceremony - Simple

A simplified version of our Full Commitment Ceremony, performed by either a Western woman or a Balinese man and you are free to use existing ceremony texts, write your own or do a combination of both to make this ceremony absolutely your own.

Balinese Blessing Ceremony

A Balinese Blessing Ceremony, performed by a 'Balinese Officiant', is often used by couples who are already legally married to each other but who wish to renew their vows in a highly spiritual and traditionally Balinese manner.

It is also popular with couples who wish to celebrate their love but without any legal implications.

Various inclusions are provided in our Balinese Blessing Package.

Vow Renewal Ceremony

Vow Renewal Ceremonies can be arranged in a number of ways:

You can book a Religious Ceremony, which would be conducted by a Minister of the Protestant Church and performed at the venue of your choice;

A Religious Ceremony, which would be conducted by a Priest from the Catholic Church and performed in a Catholic Church, or;

A Religious Ceremony, which would be conducted by a Buddhist Priest and performed in the Buddhist Temple in Kuta.

Prices depend on the type of ceremony you choose to enjoy and the number of inclusions.

Legal Moslem Ceremony

A Legal Moslem Ceremony in Indonesia consists of one ceremony, which is performed by the head of the Religious Office, known as KUA.

There is no Civil Registration of Moslem Marriages as this is considered to be unnecessary in Indonesia. Rather than a Wedding Certificate, couples are given a 'marriage' book (one original copy each) as proof of their marriage.

Further information about this and other related possibilities will be given upon application.
